Chapter 812
by fanqienovelChapter 812: The Determined Elder Ming Kong
As soon as they entered the small world, their vision expanded.
“This world is only about ten million miles wide, which is considered small in the Chaotic Star Region,” Ming Kong stated after scanning the area.
At that moment, a Quasi-Immortal from another race appeared not far from the Ten Thousand Star Ship, accompanied by several alien respected elders.
The Quasi-Immortal, with sharp horns on his head, wore a serious expression.
“I sense a Supreme Elder inside the spaceship; leave this to me to handle,” he said.
“As for the remaining humans, you need to finish quickly and come help me,” the Quasi-Immortal instructed.
In the vast world, there was a consensus: a typical Supreme Elder could fight a Quasi-Immortal, and stronger ones could rival true immortal level beings.
The Quasi-Immortal now hoped that the Supreme Elder inside the Universe Ship was just a bit weaker.
The group of aliens watched the Ten Thousand Star Ship warily, while the atmosphere inside the ship remained relaxed.
Xu Fan was about to make a move to suppress the aliens, but the eager Ming Kong stopped him.
“Elder Ming Kong, do you want to give it a try?” Xu Fan asked, looking at Ming Kong.
Ming Kong nodded, feeling a bit misled after watching Xu Fan casually suppress Quasi-Immortals and true immortals recently.
“Grand Elder, I want to fight this alien Quasi-Immortal!”
Ming Kong ignited his battle intent; if he couldn’t defeat a true immortal, he should be able to handle a Quasi-Immortal.
“Go ahead. I’ll support you,” Xu Fan said with a smile.
“Thank you, Grand Elder.”
After saying that, Ming Kong teleported outside the Ten Thousand Star Ship.
“I didn’t know there was a Supreme Elder on the ship. I am willing to offer 100,000 Immortal Jade to clear up the misunderstanding from earlier,” the Quasi-Immortal declared, aiming to defuse the situation with money.
Ming Kong looked at the alien Quasi-Immortal with a mocking gaze.
“Are you trying to bully us newcomers who don’t know the rules? You think 100,000 Immortal Jade can just brush us off?”
“If the defenses of my Ten Thousand Star Ship were a bit weaker, you would have been in high spirits collecting your spoils by now.”
“Stop with the nonsense; let’s battle!”
A bright mirror rose behind Ming Kong, shooting out a beam of light.
The Demon Slayer Sword appeared in Ming Kong’s hand.
The beam shot out by the mirror was easily blocked by the alien Quasi-Immortal.
“Are you challenging me to a one-on-one battle? Why not bring the Supreme Elder from the Universe Ship out?” The Quasi-Immortal’s eyes sparked with anger; as an invincible respected elder, he was furious someone dared to challenge him.
“Qianhu, Qianhun, you two go play with him,” the Quasi-Immortal casually ordered, showing little interest in Ming Kong and keeping a wary eye on Xu Fan inside the Ten Thousand Star Ship.
At that moment, the entire small world echoed with Xu Fan’s voice.
“First, entertain Elder Ming Kong; no matter the outcome, I will spare your life in the end.”
Xu Fan took that brief moment to learn about the alien with the sharp horn.
They belonged to the Spirit Horn Race, a highly scattered and weak tribe, often serving as vassals to more powerful races.
Its nature is to easily submit to the powerful and serve them.
All the respected elders around the alien Quasi-Immortal were suppressed by Xu Fan and fell into a deep slumber.
The Quasi-Immortal of the Spirit Horn Race, seeing this, knew it was the end.
“I beg the supreme to spare my Spirit Horn Race,” the alien Quasi-Immortal said with a bow.
“First, defeat this invincible respected elder in front of you. If you win, I’ll let your small world go,” Xu Fan said lightly.
Hearing Xu Fan’s words, the Quasi-Immortal turned to Ming Kong.
“Let’s see what you’ve got.”
The horn on the Quasi-Immortal’s head began to glow with spiritual light, and a peculiar celestial tool appeared in his hand.
“Bring it on!” Ming Kong said, charging forward with the Demon Slayer Sword.
The battle began, and Xu Fan got a glimpse of the fighting strength of the top-ranked elder from the Elder Council.
“Looks like they’re evenly matched. This is interesting,” Xu Fan remarked with a smile as he watched Ming Kong and the alien Quasi-Immortal clash.
“Who do you think will win?” Xu Fan asked a higher-ranked elder who had arrived on the Ten Thousand Star Ship.
“Elder Ming Kong seems to be struggling. He might need to push through to the eighth explosion to defeat this Quasi-Immortal,” the higher-ranked elder replied.
“The eighth explosion? What’s that about?” Xu Fan asked, puzzled.
At that moment, the battle outside the Ten Thousand Star Ship took a turn.
Ming Kong was hit by a beam of rainbow light from the Quasi-Immortal’s horn, exploding into a cloud of blood mist.
Just as the Quasi-Immortal thought he had won, a surge of life force enveloped the blood mist.
It condensed, and Ming Kong reappeared.
“That’s the first explosion,” the higher-ranked elder explained.
“This technique is quite something,” Xu Fan said, stroking his chin.
The newly reformed Ming Kong remained calm. After his battle with the Golden Winged Roc clone, he had used up many resources but had finally returned to his peak condition.
He was confident in this fight, believing that suppressing this Quasi-Immortal might bring him closer to the supreme realm.
The battle raged on, and the Quasi-Immortal’s earlier look of disdain faded as he grew more serious.
The result? Ming Kong was being blown apart faster and faster.
Each time Ming Kong was destroyed and reformed, his power grew stronger.
This continued until Ming Kong was obliterated for the sixth time.
His expression began to shift; the Quasi-Immortal was stronger than he had anticipated.
Even the sixth explosion, and possibly the seventh, wouldn’t be enough to suppress this Quasi-Immortal.
This wasn’t what he had expected, but the stakes were too high now. He had to use every means to suppress the Quasi-Immortal, or he’d never be able to face Xu Fan again.
“Elder Ming Kong, maybe it’s time to stop. I’ve heard this technique comes at a great cost,” Xu Fan said, his voice firm.
Ming Kong’s resolve only hardened.
“Don’t worry, Grand Elder. I can handle this!”
A massive mountain appeared in the sky and crashed down toward the Quasi-Immortal.
Then, a river of heavy water stretched across the heavens, washing over the Quasi-Immortal.
Ming Kong tried to cast another spell to suppress the Quasi-Immortal, but another beam of rainbow light struck him, causing him to explode once more.
“That’s the seventh time. At this rate, by the ninth explosion, I might just barely defeat this Quasi-Immortal.”
“Honestly, it’s not worth it,” Xu Fan said, shaking his head.
Ming Kong had already reached his limit.
Becoming supreme wasn’t impossible, but in Xu Fan’s eyes, the odds were too slim. It’d be better to reincarnate and start over.
“Ever since the Upper Zun left, Elder Ming Kong has been pushing himself to hold up the Elder Council, hoping to ascend to the Immortal Realm one day to see him,” the higher-ranked elder beside Xu Fan said.
As they spoke, Ming Kong reached the eighth explosion.
“Elder Ming Kong is about to go all out. Grand Elder, please back him up,” the higher-ranked elder said respectfully.
“Of course,” Xu Fan replied, watching Ming Kong, who was now in an extremely unstable state.
To Xu Fan, Ming Kong was like a ticking time bomb.
If he didn’t suppress the Quasi-Immortal within an hour, even if his true spirit didn’t collapse, he’d suffer internal injuries that would ruin his path to immortality.
“Grand Elder, don’t interfere. I’m on the verge of touching the supreme realm!”
Hearing Ming Kong’s words, Xu Fan crushed the spiritual light in his hand, which carried a curse.
